As a peripheral space often deprived of historical prestige and classified as a hybrid space of cultural transition, the banlieue (suburb) of Paris has always developed its own culture since the industrial revolution. From the 19th century, when it became a space of entertainment, inspiration and recreation, to the often problematic and ignored urban zone that it has become in the last 30 years, the banlieue is a space of creolité and diaspora par excellence. This volume welcomes papers that explore the linguistic, cultural, historic, literary and filmographic hybridities that came out of the banlieue over the course of the past century. Above all, contributions should focus on the interactions of different cultures within the banlieue and the attempt to construct pockets of cosmopolitan spaces.
Paper topics may include:
The historical banlieue: coexisting with the landmarks
Reinventing gender division
The beur culture as a re-exploration of the Enlightenment
Escaping the banlieue: mission impossible
Feminine voices of the banlieue
Dynamics of hybrid spaces
Creolités: the codification of language in the banlieue
The other ‘banlieue’: Paris in competition with Marseille
Vivre en contre: the banlieue vs. Sarkozy
Filming the banlieue
French hip-hop from the banlieue as a planetary phenomenon
The metissage as the new norm/form of resistance?
